Sony makes and sells games, music, films, consumer electronics and image sensors. There are five reported business segments plus All Other: Game & Network Services, Music, Pictures, Entertainment, Technology & Services, and Imaging & Sensing Solutions. The filing notes that Sony's products and services are generally unique to a single operating segment. The financial year ends in March and figures are stated in yen.

Games

The Game & Network Services segment produces and sells digital software and add-on content, runs the network services businesses and makes and sells home gaming products. It splits into Digital Software and Add-on Content, distributing software titles and add-on content over the network through Sony Interactive Entertainment; Network Services, covering game, video and music content services; and Hardware and Others, covering home gaming consoles, packaged software, software bundled with consoles, peripheral devices and first-party software for third-party platforms. Sony Interactive Entertainment handles research, development, design, marketing, sales, production, distribution and customer service for PlayStation hardware, software, content and network services. Digital software including add-on content sells mainly through the PlayStation Store, while hardware and physical software go both through third-party distributors and through Sony Interactive Entertainment's own direct website.

Music

The Music segment holds the Recorded Music, Music Publishing and Visual Media & Platform businesses. The recorded music business outside Japan came together in 2004 as SONY BMG, a 50-50 joint venture with Bertelsmann; Sony bought out Bertelsmann's half in October 2008 and renamed the company Sony Music Entertainment in January 2009. In Japan the business runs through Sony Music Entertainment (Japan), which began in March 1968 as CBS/Sony Records, a 50-50 venture with CBS, and became wholly owned in January 1988. Publishing came from two directions: Sony/ATV Music Publishing, formed in October 1995 as a 50-50 venture with Michael Jackson and wholly owned from September 2016, and EMI Music Publishing, of which Sony completed the purchase of the last roughly 60% in November 2018. Both are now Sony Music Publishing.

Pictures

The Pictures segment holds the Motion Pictures, Television Productions and Media Networks businesses, run through Sony Pictures Entertainment, which Sony acquired in November 1989 as Columbia Pictures Entertainment. Home entertainment and television distribution worldwide go through the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Television Distribution group. Home entertainment includes digital distribution, meaning electronic sell-through and video-on-demand across digital platforms, cable networks and direct broadcast satellite providers. The library of motion pictures and television programming is also licensed to distributors including broadcast networks, digital platforms, cable networks and satellite providers, with digital platforms covering both subscription and advertising supported services.

Electronics and sensors

The Entertainment, Technology & Services segment covers Imaging, which is image and video content creation products including interchangeable lens cameras and lenses; Sound, meaning headphones and wireless speakers; Network Services, covering internet-related services; Displays, covering LCD and OLED televisions and projectors; and Other, which holds smartphones, home audio products, medical equipment and sports officiating and content production support services. The Imaging & Sensing Solutions segment is the image sensors business. In the year to March 2026 Sony put approximately 265.3 billion yen of additions to long-lived assets into that segment, of which approximately 246.7 billion yen went to increasing image sensor production capacity.

The financial services spin-off

Sony Financial Holdings was established in April 2004 as a financial holding company in Japan, taking Sony Life, Sony Assurance and Sony Bank as subsidiaries, and was listed on the TSE in October 2007 before Sony bought it back in full in September 2020 and renamed it SFGI in October 2021. From May 2023 Sony assessed a partial spin-off of the financial services business, obtained approval from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan for the restructuring plan in February 2024, and listed SFGI shares on the Prime Market of the TSE in September 2025 as a condition of the spin-off. The partial spin-off completed in October 2025, after which Sony held 16.40% of SFGI, which ceased to be a consolidated subsidiary and became an affiliated company. All Other holds the remaining operating activities, including the disc manufacturing business outside Japan and the recording and storage media businesses.
